all control variables, toggle switches, emergency buttons in the parameter column.
ese parameters as per manufacturer's spec. Verify if the controls are operable at the given ranges.
Glue Thickness
Mis registration
Parameters
Voids / Gaps
Uniformity
Bleed
5 Off Contact P S P Increase in off contact will resul in bleed & mis registration.
Experiments must be conducted to choose the right operating ranges for equipment under validation
The starting point for process parameters must be based on one or more of the following;-
1. Manufacturer's recommendation
2. Fusion experience with similar product/ process
3. Other Technical resources (internet, books, expert opinion etc)
The experiments must be conducted by varying one parameter & keeping other parameters
constant. The results of varied parameter level should be documented.
And the experiment repeated for all significant parameters.

Fusion already has a long experience with Screen printing process & Imaging process.
Hence only a few variables are chosen for DoE, rest of the parameters shall be as per supplier TDS.
1 Squeegee Pressure
2.Print Speed
3. Off contact
